Comments Thread For: Photos: Alvarado and Provodnikov Square Off in Denver

So who is the better boxer, Rios or Provo? Obviously neither are good, but to me that's the big question. Alvarado will probably avoid the big shots and pick Provo apart, but if he doesn't, expect Provo to wear him down for the TKO. Either way, this won't be a dull fight to watch.

To me the big difference between Rios and Ruslan is the work rate. Rios has a much better work weight IMO and throws the more compact punches. Provodnikov is probably the bigger puncher though because he's the natural jww and has alway fought around 140 or above. They both have good chins I think this fight come down to who ever is in better condition or whoevers face holds up because the both bruise and cut easily.

Alvarado boxes better than Provo.
Provo got the power and the pressure

People expect the provo that fought bradley, but that was at 147. He's not half as good or powerful at 140, even his trainer roach said so. If alvarado don't get involved in exchanges, he should win easily. Should be good to watch though

Mike isn't going to worry about Provid at 140....I thought this fight was at 147 because Ruslan himself said that he can't make 140 anymore...smh. He'll be drained and not strong enough to hurt Alvarado sufficiently. At 147, I'd say that Ruslan KO's him.

Ruslan will break Alvarado down, he hit's very very hard, not even Pac could hurt Bradley the way he did. I can't see this fight going more than 7rds, Alvarado will not be able to trade and exchange pot shots with this man as he not blessed with half the skill of Timmy boy.

Mike is better then Tim and a much bigger puncher. Expecting Mile High to dismantle Provo thats why the fight is in his hometown.

Can't wait for this fight someone is getting dropped and stopped and it ain't Ruslan.

It shows 100% that Alvarado is already scared of him.... Alvarado already lost the fight. EOF

Ruslan by KO. If he doesn't get the KO within 8 rounds though he's gonna lose.
